Document Summary

Multiple romantic relationships at the same time, with full knowledge and consent of all partners, each of whom has other romantic relationships. As the community grew, they established new terms like poly delity" to describe multi- partnered relationships that are not open to new members. Metamours to describe people who we are dating, and the individual people that they are dating. Instead of met metamours being rivals, they work together for the better satisfaction of their shared partner. Swinging tends to be about sex while polyamory tends to be about establishing romantic relationships. Cheating is breaking the established rules of a polyamorous relationship. Must communicate because there is a lack of established rules for multiple romantic relationships. An individual is not polyamorous because one individual can not meet all of their needs, it is that they enrich their lives through new partnerships with different people.
